Through-desk mounting

Installation and Operation, cont’d

The transceiver can be mounted through a desk or other furniture using an optional Extron MBD 129 through-desk mounting kit, part #70-077-02. Mount the transceiver through a desk or table as follows (figure 2-4):

Figure 2-4 — Through-desk mounting

1.	Loosely attach the mounting brackets to the transceiver
	using the four machine screws and washers supplied with
	the mounting kit.
2.	Hold the transceiver against the inside of the surface
	through which it will be mounted. Mark the four screw
	holes on the inside of the surface to which you are
	mounting the device.
3.	Drill four pilot holes, each 3/32" in diameter by 1/4" deep,
	where you made marks.
4.	Using the provided four wood screws, secure the brackets
	to the mounting surface.
5.	Slide the transceiver up and down in the mounting
	brackets until the face of the transmitter or receiver is at
	the desired height. Tighten the screws that secure the
	brackets in place.

If the screws are inaccessible to a screwdriver:

a. On the transceiver, mark the location of the brackets relative to the screws.

b. Remove the transceiver from inside the furniture.

c. Tighten the screws.

d. Replace the unit inside the surface (step 4).

Projector mounting

The transceiver can be mounted on a projector bracket using either of the following optional Extron projector mounting kits:

•PMK 300 projector mounting kit (part #70-374-01)

•PMK 350 low profile projector mounting kit

(part #70-563-02[black] or part #70-563-03[white])

PMK 300 mounting

Mount the transceiver to a PMK 300 bracket as follows:

1.	If necessary, remove the feet from the bottom of the
	transceiver.
2.	Mount the transceiver to one of the bracket’s three
	mounting plates using two of the supplied 4-40 x 3/16"
	screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the device
	to the bracket. It can be vertically mounted facing either
	up or down (figure 2-5).

NOn the side mounting plates, the device is typically mounted on the outside of the bracket.

On the front mounting plate, the device is typically mounted on the inside of the bracket.
